For this vast multitude, are we willing
10 90 forth from this mornings service
and see what we can do, employing I'll the
agencies / have spoken of for the rectif-
cation of the poisoned fountains? We
| live in a beautiful city. The lines have
fallen to US in pleasant places, and we
have goodly heritage; and any man who
does not Ike q residence 10 Brooklyn,
must be most uncomfortable and IN
reasonable man. But, my friends, the
material prosperity of city is not its
chief glory. There may be fine houses
and beautiful street,, and that all be the
garnlture of q sepulChre. Some OF the
most prosperous cities OF the world have
gone down, not enc stone Left upon
another. But city may be in ruins long
before g tower has fallen or column has
crumbled, or q tomb has been detsCed.
When in city the churches OF God are
full of cold formslities and inanimate re-
ligion; when the houses of commerce are
the abode Of fraud and unholy traffic :;
when the streets are flied with
crime uDarrested and sin unenlighI-
ened and helplessness unpitied-that city
is in ruins, though every church were 3
st. Peters, and every moneged institu-
ton were Bank of England. and every
library were a British Museum, and
every house had porch like that of
Rheims, and q roof like that Of Amiens,
and tower like that of Antwerp, and
traceried windows like those OF Freiburg.
My brethren, our pulses beat rapidly
the time away, and soon we shall be
gone; and what we have to do for the city
in which we live we must do right speed
ily or never do it at all In that day
when those who have wrapped themselves
in luxuries and despised the poor shell
come to shame and everlasting contempt,
I hope it may be said of you and ne that
we gave bread to the hungry, and wiped
away the tear Of the orphan. and upon
the w6nderer Of the street we opened the
brightness and benedictiou of s Christian
home; and then, through our instrument
tally, it shall be known on earth and in
heaven that Mary Lost became Mary
Found.

they took her into the reform society, and

Language OF tho Eand.

Hands Indicate character. A thin, skinny,
narrow palm expresses feeblenes5 of intellect,
as well Is absence Of energy or moral force.
A hollow, deep palm indicates misfortune,
loss Of money, misery and failure in enter
prises. Shakespeare tells OF an itching
PALM" that Indicates that the blood is out CT
order, with covetous disposition. i stiff,
hard hand, that opens with difficulty 10 its
full extent, betrays stubbornness Of charac-
ter and reluctance TO open TO calls of charity.
Supple elastic fingers, on the other hand,
while manifesting 4 tendency to extrava-
gance, nevertheless indicate talent and sagac-
ity. Those who have short fingers are quick,
impulsive, and act usually on the spur OF the
moment, more readily than those who have
long fingers Short, thick fingers, nearly all
OF the same length, indicate q callous, cruel
character, and betray clumsy uuhandiness in
manipulation, as well as q constant tendency
to falsehood and the defamation OF the charac-
ter OF others. Long, slender fingers betray q
peevish. worrying disposition.
Young women ought to choose husband
whose hands are naturally red; and hands
made red with difficulty should be carefully
avoided. 4 man with dark colored hands is
inclined to biliousnes5 and melancholy. As
an indicator OF character, however, the
thumb is the "boss" A small i'll formed,
feebly balanced thumb betrays vacillating
disposition. Small thumbed persons are
governed by the heart, while the large
thumbed are swayed by the intellect. Indie
pendent, self reliant people have large
thumbs, or ought TO have them, from the
point of view of the chiropodist, while plant,
dependent and easily governed natures may
be known by tho smallness Of the digit,
always remembering that the feature must
be judged in proportion to the size of the
hand and the fingers on the same hand

WORK OF THE sTEveDoRE.
The Cost of Loading Cargo-The Steve
dOre's Liabilities.


The loading and unloading OF vessels is
never done by the ships crew. It IS effected
By contract with middleman, called steve
dore. In New York harbor there are, ell
told, 800 of these stevedores, and many have
amassed great wealth. They are in effect the
agents of the consignees 70 whom cargoes are
brought and like agents for the charter
party" the legal maritime term for any per-
sen or company chartering vessel to convey
cargo OF goods from one port to another.
To illustrate: A vessel has been chartered TO
convey a cargo from New York to Liverpool
She IS ready for her cargo and her cargo
ready for her. The "charter party" calls Tor
his stevedore, as all large shippers usually
continuously employ the same man, and con-
tract with him to put their cargo aboard.
This does not mean that it shall merely be put
on the vessels deck. 1t must be slowed
away in the hold and between decks in q
proper manner for an ocean voyage. These
contracts are based either on weight or
measurement, and often on both; and as the
cost of loading cargo Of g 900 ton barn or
great ocean steamer will vary from 81 500
to So, zoo, the opportunity and measure for
profit and loss on the transaction are such
that the stevedore az once becomes person
age of no little Importance
While the vessel is being loaded he is prac-
tically its master. For while ships captain
may suggest regarding stowage, he must after
all yield to the arbitrary ruling OF the steve
dore, who thus becomes the responsible party
for the good condition of the cargo on de-
livery at its foreign port, barring general sea
risks; and the recourse Of the captain who
helplessly objects to the manner Of loading
may be had in any port OF the world, where,
if he discover that his freight is coming out
in bad order from improper stowage, he can
demand and secure survey by port war
den" on whose certificate he bases his own
and his vessels immunity from damages, and
fixes them back upon the stevedore. There
fore, while the stevedore's profits are often
large, his liability TO loss is also very great

trimmed Christmas trees, artistically con-

on the west wall in large letters was

When everything was in readiness,
the attendants ushered in the inmates.
They crowded about the trees, some with
but vacant stare, others as though sane

They were all orderly and it surprised

them, saying good word here and giving
free advice there. No harsh means were
employed to keep them quiet; kind words
did it.-Bonner.
